Ever looked up the lyrics to the Mash theme?
The song is called "Suicide is Painless" Suicide Is Painless - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Google "lyrics suicide is painless" and there are even Youtube of people singing the lyrics. One of those things I never even knew until 2 decades later

Right, that show is about the misery of war, set in a "meatball surgery" hospital. Antics are done by a few of the doctors, in an effort to break the drudgery of their solemn task. I liked it, even though some of the jokes were a bit out of my grasp at the time.

Never new that. Robert Altman's son was 14 when he composed it?? Some pretty crazy info in the Wiki article,
Quote:

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in the 1980s, Robert Altman said that his son earned more than a million dollars for co-writing the song while he only made $70,000 for directing the movie.

It was a time shifted parody on Vietnam also. That show had a huge following out of my age group. Lucky I missed going with a lottery number of 263. Many of my buddies were not so lucky, and still are not "normal" decades later.
I wondered for years what they saw. I no longer want to know.

On a lighter note! Eight is Enough totally inhaled canal water through the dorsal orifice.

An interesting question. I watched a TON of TV as a child. And obviously watched what I liked. My dad watched a lot of golf (which I still find boring) and my brother actually liked watching bowling (what a goob).

I believe that the movie played the version with the lyrics, but I don't recall the TV show ever playing the original version.
